Can you set up an apple tv without a tv?

I want to use an Apple TV to stream audio to my "high end" stereo. I have read a lot about easy this is and how good the quality is. But, everything
I read about Apple TV says it requires an HDMI connection to a TV so you can set it up. I don't a have a TV near my stereo so I have a problem. I can set up
the Apple TV with my TV in another room, but will I lose the programming when I unplug it to move it to the stereo room. Or is there a way to hook it up
to the Apple TV with an IOS device or my Macbook Air so I can set it up without being connected to a TV?

Good info. I had no idea that headphone jacks were also mini-optical - even on MacBooks. Wasn't paying attention. An airport express would have been the best choice, but since I have the Apple TV already, getting an HDMI computer monitor (like a Samsung for $139) so I can set up the Apple TV may be the answer versus spending $100 for an AirportExpress and having a superfluous Apple TV.
Thanks for your help.

    sure the appletvs just access the shared iTunes lib on the computer thats all
    it been a thing for ages before Apple TV came out where computers on the same network could also access each others shared iTunes lib
    Apple TV does the same thing only problem could be if the network is not fast enough to transfer 2 streams of data at once

  • Can I set up an apple tv without an internet conexion?

    I am interested in buying an apple tv for home, I only use an internet conexion at my office and have no internet at home. Can I set up an apple tv with an Airport that is not connected to the internet?

    I believe you need an Internet connection only to authorize the computer. Once this is done, Internet access is not needed to play content. I just turned off my Airport, spun up iTunes, and it played fine, so I believe this is in fact the case.

    If you mean you actually need to enable the "find my iPhone" setting under your iCloud Account's settings on your iPhone, then no, of course not.  You needed to have enabled that setting before it went missing in order to be able to remotely connect/communicate with it in the first place.
    In order to remotely track an iOS device, that device needs to have an active iCloud account already on it, and the "find" setting already turned on - all before it is no longer in your hands.

  • Can I set up an apple express without a password?

    My wireless is in a place where a password is unnecessary, but it won't seem to let me set up without one.

    Airport utility should allow you to manage and change the settings on your current Airport. I don't have my Apple in front of me now (at work on on a PC ) but you can change the WiFi password as well as disable it.

    WiFi passwords are great to keep neighbors and such off your network and sucking your bandwidth, but if you're house is on a lot large enough that it doesn't extend to anybody elses house I can see why you might choose to leave its PW free.

  • Can you set the iPhone4 to vibrate without sound when receiving a text?

    I turned on vibrate, but no ring tone and I don't get any notification (other than the text displays on the screen).
    It seems that I have to set a ring tone to get text notifications, but what about just vibrating without sound?

    I had the same problem. It appears it is a software issue and we will have to wait for an update. In the mean time, someone on here suggested that you turn the phone off and back on again whenever this happens and it will fix it for a while. Has worked for me so far.

    can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.

  • I don't have access to a computer and so,without physically  attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

    i don't have access to a computer and so,without physically  attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

    Sorry but no. The only way to restore an iPod to factory settings is through iTunes on a computer. You will need to get access to a computer somehow. If you can get to an Apple Store, they can probably help you.
